I may have made a decent amount of completed Duneyrr fanart this year, but I didn't complete a fully rendered illustration that would satisfy me. I wanted to complete an illustration that pushes my boundaries before this year ends.

The year 2024 won't end for another 16 days, that's supposedly enough time for me. However, I have a lot in my plate and that limits what I can do this month. I've got tasks, appointments, holidays; and I'm planning to focus on making fanart based on other franchises besides Boktai. If I don't end up finishing any Duneyrr fanart, I might choose this piece as my best one of the year.

To me, 2024 was an immensely bustling year. I have been so burnt out going through various extreme transitions, I struggled to focus on sitting down and doing my work. Concurrently, I have used all that time exploring different hobbies, opportunities, and concepts that could benefit my work in the future.

In 2025, I hope I can finally settle down, upload more art to the internet than last year, and explore every accessible opportunity in my path.

Have a happy new year, everybody!❤️

Norsery Rhymes from A to Z Durathor - Branch Eater of Yggdrasill 

Happy Thorsday! - Here’s another 20 min sketch of a Norse (and Germanic, Celtic) mythological characters. This week it’s Durathror / Duraþrór . One of the four Red Stags / Harts that endlessly walk and graze on the branches of Yggdrasill. 

The male deer are, Duraþrór, Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr. They each look upward to chew on the branches or leaves and small shoots of the World Tree. Considered to be able to nimbly walk among the branches of the tree at it’s highest points.

Their names have been translated as… (*The below notes are just some thoughts on their possible purpose.)   Dáinn - dead, dead one, swooning / fainting, the drowsy.  *Possibly indicating it as the clearer of the dead growth. 

Dvalinn / Dvalar - sleep, one who dallies, dawdler, quiet sleeper, to delay, to slow down.  *Possibly indicating it as the cause of the slowing down the trees growth.  Duneyrr - murmur, quiet noise, quiet thundering, noisy maker of din.  *Possibly indicating the rustling of leaves as they eat and walk the branches. Duraþrór / Durathror - delay, drowsy, door breaking, snoring, or thriving slumber.  *Possibly indicating it as causing the noise of breaking branches.

The symbolism may be related to the winds that tear down branches and leaves, much like the dwarves of the four winds. This lines up as two of the four names are also Dwarf names.

He says he spent the afternoon gardening and cleaning so that we could come over for the triplet’s birthday party.

They had set up three cakes so that each of them could have their own.

It was really charming until all three of them messed their diapers at the same time!

Daydream: aww, but why?

Dawn: You have your father’s aim, you’ll shoot your eye out kid.

Daydream is a crackship baby @ask-tequila-shots designed by crossing Duneyrr and her oc Dawn Breaker

Boktai never had cool official merchandise. I wish those illustrations above were official, but this is just my fanart.

It's been about 18 years since Boktai stopped getting new games.😠

Nintendo stopped producing GBA products for so long, Boktai's GBA cartridges became scarce over the years.

Nintendo may never make the Boktai trilogy playable on Switch, all because they can't work around the trilogy's dependence on UV radiation.

In the future, Boktai's existence might disappear completely, no matter how much us fans love it and try to keep it alive.

However, that won't stop me making Boktai fanart, I'll keep drawing them until the day I die!
